‘It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.’ George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four

‘The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race, posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth produced by its collision with error.’ John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859

‘Do I “deny the Holocaust”? No! No indeed. I hope the holocaust is not denied and never forgotten. I hope the holocaust is remembered as the greatest propaganda effort and hate campaign ever waged against a civilized people. We must never forget. We must look at the despoliation of our people and our culture and ask: Why do the heavens not darken? We have lost the will and courage to defend ourselves. The time has come to commit the new blasphemy. It is time to deny the gods of the New World Order.’

Tom Blair, ‘The New Blasphemy’

Not to be published.’ Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

This website is best viewed using Netspoiler v6.66 on a Sunday following the 25th Wedding Anniversary of a distant relative, providing the weather is gloomy. Then the temperature is good, and the Spirit shall be at ease, especially if the Anniversary was a joyous occasion. For more on Ease of Spirit and deeper spiritual matters consult The Higher Authority via the World Church of Xion; Christians, of course, will not tremble when the True God steps down and (thanks to Martin Luther) need not enter their credit card number into Indulgence Order Forms.

‘The enemy of subversive thought is not suppression, but publication: truth has no need to fear the light of day; fallacies wither under it. The unpopular views of today are the commonplaces of tomorrow, and in any case the wise man wants to hear both sides of every question.’ Sir Stanley Unwin
